This is good stuff. Here a few ideas/suggestions. A settlement or fort needs a reliable water source. You should consider fitting digging a well an important step in developing such a place. The same could be said for food sources - consider fish ponds, bee hives, livestock pens, smokehouse etc A Br...

Being weary doesn't mean, you're out of combat, it just means that 1s, 2s, and 3s on the d6 don't count. And if you rolled a lot of them during an attack, chances are high, that you'd miss, even if you're not weary. On the other hand, two piercing blows and you are dead. So I'd say, better weary an...

Here are a few weapons I adapted from MERP to be found somewhere in Eriador. A collection of Elven and Númenórean weapons to form a treasure index, make of them what you will. Armidhrist (S. Royal Eminent Cleaver): Short Sword – Númenórean make; Cleaving, Foe Slaying (Bane – Orcs, Evil Men), Fell, G...

Whoops! Sorry AidenH. When I mention LotR/hobbit, I never remember the influence of the films. But any images that PJ has for the cultures of the Free Peoples using axes doesn't resonate with me.

Not sure about spring loaded heels but I guess it could work... :) I've added a few more I thought of, but here are a few jo...

Good stuff Dunheved. I'll add them to the list tomorrow, on my kindle at the moment.

Not swapping out a tattoo any time soon lol.
I wonder if an impressive scar might count as well... Though that's not really brought with treasure is it.

Thought it might be a good idea to have somewhere to share any examples of Useful Items that players have come up with in your games. I'll update the list as people share their ideas. Here are the ones I've come up with plus ones from the example list, hopefully we can grow the list. AWE A suit of e...

A couple more weapons to add to the list. They are lighter versions of other weapons. Interesting options for people who want ranged weapons for ambushes and opening volleys but want to keep the weight down. Light Throwing Axe 3 14 1 Axes Can be thrown Short Bow 3 12 1 Bows Ranged Weapon, Two handed
